The CRISP Web cache

The CRISP Web Cache is a scalable Internet proxy cache developed in a
collaboration with
Misha Rabinovich and others at
AT&T Research. The
CRISP cache is one aspect of a larger project studying Caching and
Replication for Internet Service Performance at AT&T.

CRISP caches
are structured as a collection of autonomous proxy servers that share
their cache contents through a mapping service.
The first paper (HOTOS-VI) below describes this in high level and
describes our first implementation. The second paper explores several
possible implementations of a mapping service, and describes Crispy
Squid.
The third paper (WISP98) describes Crispy Squid, our most current
implementation of the CRISP Web cache architecture.

The initial prototype CRISP cache was
built by Syam Gadde.
AT&T is currently providing a limited release of the source code;
for more information, contact
Misha Rabinovich.

We are releasing Crispy Squid v1.1, our latest implementation
of the CRISP web cache.
This is implemented as an extension to version 2.2.STABLE5 of the
Squid Internet Object Cache.
This is released as a patch to Squid 2.2.STABLE5:
